Word has it that Mister Grisham is slightly miffed at losing his reputation as the best selling writer of fiction to the Rowling girl. Someone; may be Mister G himself, or perhaps some bright spark at his publishers, looked at the hoards of new adolescent readers Ms Rowling brought to the table and thought - Eh up, if only we could attract some of that lot!
Here's the result. Theodore Boone.
Theodore is a thirteen year old boy, sound familiar, who's always dreamt of becoming a judge, I kid you not, or at least a high profile lawyer. It isn't as ridiculous as it sounds because both of his parents are lawyers and so was his uncle once, though he now seems to be living in semi disgrace, and we don't ever get to the bottom of that one.
Theo is already dishing out legal advice to his classmates, one suffering through parent's splitting, another on the cusp of having the family home repossessed. I can't charge, he says when one of the kids offers payment, I don't have my licence yet. It sure won't be long.
The main thrust of the story centres round a high profile murder Case going on in the city. The accused is about to walk due to insufficient evidence and when Theo stumbles on a crucial new witness just as the trial is ending the story really gets under way.
It is clear from the reviews that many people did not realise this was a book primarily aimed at the youth audience, but don't let that put you off entirely. The story rattles along in the same old Grisham way. Of course it is well written, even allowing for the occasional breaks to explain to the youngsters and newcomers what exactly the legal terms and ramifications mean.
We suspect any Grisham reader will still want to read this and will enjoy doing so. The big question is; how will this book impress that new target audience?
Whether that's great, moderate, or not at all, you can expect to see more of these slimmed down cut down watered down legal thrillers coming from Mister G in his quest to regain his crown.
After all, they are much shorter and quicker to write, and you could expect to see a couple of these beasties churning off the production line every year if the demand was there, and it just might be.
Despite everything we enjoyed it. It is a good read and well worth a second look.
So what's next? The Rowling girl creating a wicked witch of the courtroom? Now that we would like to see.

Just like other famous writers such as Susan Straight, Francine Prose and Carl Hiasssen, John Grisham has also turned his attention towards the younger readers as his target audience. The legal thriller Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer is targeted towards readers between 9 and 12 years of age, an age group also known as tweens.
All Things Legal Fascinate Theodore
Theodore Boone himself is slightly older at thirteen though he is still a junior high schooler, and is still far away from a law school. The question may arise - what about the title? Just like the author himself, Theodore Boone is unusually fascinated with the legal system. He is the only child of busy lawyer couple, he has a dog called Judge and all his free time goes to the local courthouse.
Everyone Turns To Him for Advice
His interest in law is very well renowned and even his friends turn to him for advice on legal matters. Even judges make special accommodation so they can talk to him. He also manages to get the best seats during an actual trial in which one husband has been accused of murdering his spouse. This part of the novel is vintage Grisham at his best, as he seems very much the same writer who exploded on the writing scene with the book A Time To Kill in 1989. Since then he has written 23 books, most of which revolve around legal themes and complexities.
Less Violence than Earlier Books
As you may only expect, many of these books are violent, though Theodore Boone is on the quieter side. The plot works around a bloodless strangulation of his wife by the husband and he is the only suspect, but he will likely be acquitted in the Case. Since the target readership is young, the mystery and complexity quotient has deliberately been kept low, though there is a twist in the story too. A crucial piece of evidence comes from an illegal immigrant who fears he will be deported if he testifies in the court.
The Law May Affect You Too
There are many scenes in the book based on the trials and arguments, and there are moments in the book when these scenes slow down the progress of the story. It is only due to the expertise John Grisham has on the legal matters that he manages to pull of these scenes convincingly. Even the legal complexities are explained in a very easy language so the target audience doesn't get distracted by the story. Due to this very talent, the law as a subject becomes more relatable for those readers who don't have an idea how the law may have an effect on their lives.
